Updated Illustrator to 23.0 on my Surface Studio running Windows 10 with 32 Gig of memory. It crashes frequently and seemingly at random. I can't point to any instance in particular - It's just random. The latest instance was I pressed CTRL + 0 to set the page at 100% and the program just went away. As with the other crashes I have encountered it isn't generating a crash report. It just goes away. I thought that GPU acceleration may be the issue and so turned it off. But, it didn't make a difference.

I uninstalled 23.0 and went back to 22.1 and life is back to normal.

This is a bug that happens on all versions of Illustrator, even CC 2019, and regardless of OS.
It's very specific, but here are the steps:
Create a new document. Color Mode doesn't matter.
Draw a square with only a white fill.
Rasterize it. Resolution and color mode doesn't matter.
Run Image Trace on it
In the Image Trace settings, set the Mode to Color and the number of colors set to 2.
Illustrator will crash.
Try it out! The expected result is probably just the same as if the number of colors was set to 3 or anything else because it's still only one color.

Tdlr: horisontal guides made with "split to grid" go onto the first artboard, when they shouldn't.

I use split to grid to make myself a grid to work on and it works fine on a single artboard. But if i try to make split to grid on any other artboard than the first one, it sends the horisontal guides to the first artboard and keeps the vertical ones on the correct one. The lines stay grouped and can be moved, but it takes extra time and effort.
This happended on different machines.

Writing this on a phone, but I can make a screenshot if asked for.

Hi,

I have a plugin created for Adobe Illustrator CC 2017/2018.
In the plugin I have a panel which acts as a container for a QTWebEngine page.
The page consist of several text boxes where I can enter text.
I can perform basic operations like cut/copy/paste/selection on windows but I am unable to perform these actions on Mac (Os El Capitan).
What I observed is that on windows clipboard will allow saving text on pressing Ctrl+C/X/V but on MAC whenever I press Command+C/X/V on Illustrator, it is trying to invoke Edit menu for Cut Copy Paste and the control goes from my text box to Illustrator's Text frame art.

I have tried many solutions but all fails. Only workaround is to open Edit menu and close it again, then only we can perform Cut/Copy/Paste on MAC.

Can anyone give me a proper solution to this problem?

Ever since the last update, Illustrator has become completely unusable. It locks up every time I try to open an existing file, or save a new file. Forcing me to force quit the application.

System specs:
OS: High Sierra 10.13.6
Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro13,3
Processor Name: Intel Core i7
Processor Speed: 2.6 GHz
Number of Processors: 1
Total Number of Cores: 4
L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB
L3 Cache: 6 MB
Memory: 16 GB
Boot ROM Version: MBP133.0247.B00
SMC Version (system): 2.38f7

Illustrator Version: 22.1

Steps to reproduce:
1) Open any file.
2) Try to save any new file
- program locks up every time.

Your expected result
- to be able to use the software to open, edit, and save Illustrator files.

Your actual result
- cannot open, or save files. CAN edit a new file, and look at it for a while. But then need to force quit the app after clicking save, since it locks up. Basically a high tech etch-a-sketch.

Hello!

My operating System is 64 bit Windows 10 and I have the latest 2018 CC version of Illustrator.

The setup: I am working on 2 4K Monitors. 1 is a 32" LG and the other is the 24" Wacom Cintiq Pro. (However, this happens regardless of what type of monitor you have). I don't spread my workflow between monitors like some people do,. I prefer to have browsing on one and my Illustrator workspace on the other. However, since I do work with a Ciintiq I very often swap my workspace from my Cintiq back to my monitor. Here is where the proiblem lies!
Whenever I activate any dialog box/panel (Rotate, Save, Mirror, Scale, Simplify, ...any of them) on my main monitor (Monitor 1) it pops ip inside of Illustrator just like it should. If I drag my entire Illustrator program and begin to use it on my Cintiq (Monitor 2) and I try to activate any of the dialog boxes they still continue to pop up on Monitor 1. This is a huge waste of time because now what has to happen is I have to put my pen down, grab the mouse, drag the dialog box over to Monitor 2 and then resume my workflow.
I have to do this for every dialog box that I use and then Illustrator will remember to open them in Monitor 2, UNTIL the monitor gets turned off, I restart or I flip back to Monitor 1 for my main screen, in which case I have to repeat the process all over again.

What I expected: That the program would autosense the Monitor you are working on and load all panels and dialog boxes on that monitor or which ever monitor your main illustrator artboard is activated on.
